Cheers Dude,
you saved me from a massive headache. I had the issue while debugging php/mysql stuff with Aptana and MAMP.
The symbolic link saved it! I have the feeling that people trying to do the same with Zend Studio would love you too.
May be you’d like to post an update to this one.
By the way don’t listen to the loosers afraid by command line stuff, Mac OS is UNIX and it’s powerful
Take care

Suddenly after making changes in phpMyAdmin to some tables, I can no longer connect to MAMP start page. Now: Error: Could not connect to MySQL server! is what I see. I have tried to change MySql Port to 3306, back to 8889. Also, have attempted various terminal commands. Viewing my index.php (Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp) as i read in previous post has: $link = @mysql_connect(’:/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock’, ‘root’, ‘root’);
Any thoughts? Maybe I changed username/password from phpMyAdmin? please help

Hi. I am using a macintosh and I am having troubles with my MAMP. I have just recently downloaded it and the mySQL light won’t come on when I go to start the servers. Apache is the only light that comes on. Please somebody help me!
